but they don't come along with silly words for a hookshot ;)

I knew some difference betwenn the english i learned in school(oxford english?) and i hear in films(mostly US), and the english i heard in a vacation in London ;)

But if they use the typical basketball words, i would play the english version which the LA would look after because i'm thinking their support is better then the one from the BB's.

This is a job for the translators (if your language have one?)
In Norwegian it's done like this: "uke(r)" as you could have "week(s)".
I do not like this solution, but do not know if it's possible in ASP as in VB 6.0 to have: IIF(numberOfWeek=1,"week","weeks") giving "1 week" but "2 weeks".

I had this remark as well on our translation and unfortunately it is not that easy in flemish. 1 week is translated as 1 week, but 2 weeks is not 2 weeks, it is 2 weken.
This means that if we would use this trick we would be writing we(e)k(en), or something, wich obviously is very bad to look at.
I asume other languages have the same problem, and the only good solution is that the BBs create an extra tag for when the injury is 1 week, and program it so that tag shows up when the injury becomes (is) 1 week.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
